Ingredients:

Soy sauce- 1tbs

chiilie garlic sauce - 1tsp

sesame oil - 1 tbs

method:

Soak rice in hot water for 30 minutes.

In a wok add 1 tbs butter and the rice and fry it for 5-7 minutes or until they
are not sticking together.In a pan add 1 1/2 cup water and the fried rice and put the lid and cook in medium flame until the rice absorbs all the water and is cooked.With a fork make the rice fluffy.
